What to take????

Recommended Posts

With all these fires in So Cal, and having had a good friend loose her house, what do you take with you knowing your house will burn? Let's just say you have a normal car, average size.

I'd grab my baby (skydiving rig)
CPU for the computer (leaving the accessories)
clothes, a little of everything
pictures off the walls of family. I have several OLD b/w of my parents and stuff around the house
my file box

reasonably that's about all that would fit in a standard car, in about a 30 minute evacuation time.

How about U?

My computer, my bikes, my camera equipment, and all of my photos.

Little tip about photos. Kepp hard copy at your place for use, and negatives at another home. The chance of you and that person both losing house to fire is slim.

By the time I got both kids and my rigs in the car with a few pictures the SUV would almost be full. Other important things would be my great grandmother's bible with all my family history in it, and my girls baby books.

I have on more than one occasion, recovered the bodies of people trying to save material things during fire storm conditions. The one thing you cannot replace is human life.

The birds w/o their cage because the cage has to be dis-assembled to get in my car, and the computers, cameras and pictures and rigs. But if I had time I'd start grabbing stuff that I couldn't replace or didn't want to (ie movies and furniture).

I'm in So Cal now and flying back to Phoenix tonight, but what a mess here...:( I hope they get it stopped soon.

take the time to appreciate the people around you.
